They were just off on conception date. And apparently gestation can vary for several weeks as well. She is massive, so rare twins maybe? Or she is stubborn

I know, but my anticipation and excitement has wavered. I do occaisionally check on her, but before I was doing it all the time. She is a day trip away from us, maybe we'll go see her and the baby when the weather gets nicer.

I love watching her. Was watching this morning with oliver in her cage while his was cleaned. He loves on her so much.

I'm watching her for the last hour off and on. They have made no announcement, but I believe our girl is in early labor!no question in my mind!!

April the first might a good date. I saw care taker giving her treats and she kissed her stomach, it was so sweet.

She's been putting her tail up an awful lot this afternoon. I bet it will be in the next 24-48 hours.

Yes and widening her stance with her rear legs, when she was near the camera, she had what appeared to be a major movement, or a contraction.
I feel for the poor girl. She is huge!

I don't get the interest AT ALL. I'd much rather watch a few clips of puppies being born on YouTube.

Where is Oliver today? I haven't seen him all day

Where is Oliver today? I haven't seen him all day

I can see the top of his head. He's lying down right now. He was up and about earlier.

I think Oliver wants to go outside. Hopefully he will get to tomorrow. Terrible they got snowed in! I also think he is keen to April and her being so close to having that darn calf...

I'm not used to him laying down.

Here is an update for april today


3/27 Morning Update

April had us watching the monitors close last night. Her behavior was interesting last night, and is noted as continued this morning. She is very relaxed, tail has been raising on and off for periods of time. Wax caps are in place but we have noted a significant mammary change! Photo is comments section! We are getting there!

Any changes will be posted throughout the day.

Today, we share with you the video link to a highly demanded, up close (but quick) video of April and Allysa. Their bond is evident - a true trusting relationship.

I'm watching on and off, but Saturday night I actually brought my laptop into my bedroom and left it plugged in to the live feed all night, because she was displaying so many signs of labor (lifted tail, stretched neck, back legs splayed) that I thought FOR SURE she would have her baby that night! I kept waking up and rolling over to check on her. One time her tail was lifted so high, and I kept waiting for the inevitable result all the other times she lifted her tail (poop), lol, and nothing happened, so I got really excited and thought for sure it was happening. Then she put her tail down and went about her business! When I woke up the next morning she was busy eating so I figured it wouldn't be that day either, as they had said she would not show an interest in eating when she is close. She is visiting with Oliver as I am typing this, lol. I only check in here and there as I don't have wifi at work, so I just know I will miss the live birth, but who knows? Maybe my timing will be lucky!

Jordan jokingly predicted Tuesday in an interview the other day. It will be funny if he's right.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Saw this on FB thought it was funny

 

[diznygirl]

I leave her on in the background and peek in now and again. I know one of these times I will peek and a little baby will be running around and I'll missed the whole thing! LOL
